How on earth is a studio in manhattan still going for $600,000 in this market? Who's buying this stuff?

The decline is just getting started in NYC.

I do not believe these condo prices. Something must be wrong.

I imagine this data is all based on closings that went into contract 9 to 12 months ago which was a very different world. If that's true, we are seeing what the beginning of the end of the top looked like. Similar to cap rate compression on different property types, the one bed and studios will start to show an increasing decline as we get further into 2009. Until one bed condos are in the 400k to 500k range (which means co-ops are sub 400k), we are no where near the bottom. I feel for folks who bought really nice new 2 bed condos because their equity may never get whole - quite literally they are living in very expensive rentals with long term leases with serious penalties for early termination.

Just a quick comment on these numbers. Notice that the median price is well below the average price. This implies that average price is being dragged up by a smaller number of very high ticket sales. The spread between the two has narrowed over time suggesting that the number and/or frequency of very high ticket sales has moderated. Mega sales in the Plaza were identified as one source of the spread in average vs. median prices and potentially a reason for high year on year growth rates in average sales during 2008. I don't know if sales there have concluded, but it looks like many have been sold according to Street Easy.

Why is the time on market cutoff after 9-months? Are they assumed to never sell? And why 9-months?

Geez, these figures are almost as unrealistic as the property tax assessments the city is giving ppl living in Brooklyn...($650k for a 2 br house in Cypress Hills for ex.) Or alternately, as unrealistic as the recent stock market action.

Speaking of the stock market and CRE, SRS got murdered today. But not as much as FAZ or SKF.

Noah - do you have insight as to why Corcoran has dropped street numbers from its listings? What's the gimmickry all about?
It feels like desperation of some sort, but could simply hurt their clients.
